Applicn/ lou filed .ligust 19, 1905. Serial No. 274.875.

Be it known that I, Arq: nun L. TALBOTT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Pueblo, in the county of Pueblo and State of Colorado, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Oondiment-Receptacles, of whichthe following is a specification.

My invention relates to condiment-receptacles; and its primary object isto provide a novel and highly useful device of this character whereinthe raising of the cover will deposit what dust accumulates thereon tothe rear of and not into the receptacle, 'whereby the condiment may bekept in a perfectly clean state.

l/Vith the above and other objects in view the invention consists in theconstruction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter fullydescribed, claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings,whereiny Figure 1 is a front elevation of a condiment-receptacleconstructed in accordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 is a centralsectional view thereof.

Referring to the drawings by referencenumerals, 1 1 indicate the sides,2 the bottom, 3 the front end, and 4 the rear end, of the receptacle.The sides 1 1 extend upwardly above the front and rear ends of thereceptacle and are inclined upwardly and rearwardly, as disclosed inFig. 2 of the drawings.

`Secured between the upwardly-projecting face of the end 4 and to apoint in vertical portions of the sides 1 and in vertical alinement withthe rear edges thereof is a back 5, the same being provided with anopening 6 adjacent its upper end, whereby the receptacle may be securedto a wall or other support. The back 5 extends above the sides 1 and iscurved inwardly and upwardly from the sides 1, as fully disclosed inFig.` 1 of the drawings. The front end 3 is constructed preferably ofglass, and the rear end 4 is inclined upwardly and inwardly to provide aspace therebetween and the support. This end extends slightly above thefront end 3 to permit the cover being supported in an inclined positionwhen closed. '7 designates the cover, which is pivotally secured betweenthe sides 1 by means of a shaft 8. The front end of the cover projectsin advance of the ends 3 and is reduced to provide a handle 9, wherebyto lift the cover. The rearend of the cover extends rearwardly beyondthe rear alinement with the rear face of the back 5.

In view of the rearward extension of the cover 7 and the inclinationofthe end 4 the dust accumulated on the cover will be deposited to therear of and not into the receptacle when the cover is elevated to gainaccess to the condiment. The pocket provided by the inclination of theend 4 is adapted for the reception of the dust, which may be removedtherefrom by moving the receptacle from engagement with the wall orother support and caught on any suitable article, the inclination of thewall 4 facilitating the deposit of the dust upon the article in a mannerthat is apparent.

This receptacle may be, except for the front 3, constructed from wood,sheet metal, tin, or any other material and suitably ornamented. y

From the foregoing description,`taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction and mode of operation of theinvention will be understood without a further extended description.

Changes in the form, proportions, and minor details of construction maybe made within the scope of the invention without departing from thespirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.

Having thus fully described and illustrated my invention, what I claimis- 1. A condiment-holder comprising a back or suspending portion, areceptacle having its rear wall extending at an upward and forwardinclination from the plane of the back to a point in advance thereof,thus forming a chamber below the back gradually diminishing in depththerefrom and open at its rear side, and a pivoted cover adapted when inopen position to discharge any dust that may be contained thereon intosaid chamber.

2. A condiment-holder comprising a receptacle, and a back extendingupwardly therefrom and secured to the side walls there of, the rear wallof said receptacle being inclined u wardly and forwardly from the planeof t ie back to a point in advance thereof, thereby forming a chambergradually diminishing in size from the upper to the lower end thereof,said chamber adapted to be nor mally closed by the wall from which theholder is supported, and a cover for closing the receptacle normallyhaving an inclined position and pivoted on a line between the respectivelower and upper ends of the back and rear wall, whereby when the coveris open the pivoted portion thereof will turn IOC IOS

down into the upper end of said chamber to admit foreign articles uponthe upper surface oi the cover thereinto.

3. A holder of the character described comprising a back or suspendingportion7 a receptacle having its rear wall extending at a downward andrearward inclination from a point in advance of the lower edge of theback to the base of the receptacle and in alinement with the back andrear edges of the sides thereof, thus forming a chamber below the backgradually decreasing in depth therefrom and open at its rear side, and acover pivoted between the back and upper end of said inclined rear wall,and adapted when in I 5 ARTHUR L.
